AP claims the Tuesday defeat of an Oklahoma School
bond referendum was due to
outrage by parents about the suppression of
Christmas.

"Voters
incensed over a superintendent`s decision to remove
a Nativity scene from an elementary school Christmas
program took out their anger at the ballot box, helping
to defeat bond measures worth nearly $11 million."

Wish it were so. In fact, the voters were more
probably reacting to my
critique of the avaricious and domineering
Teacher`s Union. Voters do not normally respond to
events so quickly. The ridiculous attribution might well
be a sign of a new stratagem by the enemies of
Christmas.

But Oklahoma does seem to be emerging as a
bastion in the War against Christmas. There was a
sensible
editorial in a local newspaper. The editor, Jeff
Hall, deserves applause. (E-mail
him).
